     As a Fogerty fan I can't resist a rare oppertunity to quibble with Mr. Carroll. I believe "Run through the Jungle" appeared on the CCR album "Cosmo's Factory" and "Old Man Down the Road" on Fogerty's later individual album "Centerfield." I speculate, therefore, that "Old Man" must have been alleged to be a copy of "Run Through the Jungle," and not vice versa.
